CellufinecTM MAX Butyl
CellufineTM MAX Phenyl
CellufineTM MAX Phenyl LS

CellufineTM MAX is a 2nd generation Cellufine media with high flow characteristics. JNC developed a new, highly cross-linked base resin for Cellufine MAX series. Cellufine MAX hydrophobic interaction chromatography is now available with MAX Phenyl and Butyl chemistries.

Cellulose, a natural polysaccharide, possesses unique crystalline molecular structure differing from non-crystalline polysaccharides such as agarose. Thus Cellufine has distinctive pore structure as shown in the pictograph (Fig. 1). The new Cellufine MAX series offers the largest pore size of all Cellufine chromatography media. The benefit of such pore size in Cellufine MAX HIC media provides superior strength and excellent mass transfer.
